On-water use and tips

Troll the Ford Fender at slow speeds and vary the trailing distance to discover what works on a given day. Start with 18 to 48 inches between the Ford Fender and the trailing lure, then adjust based on water clarity, depth, and the target species. Some days, fish come right up to the troll; other days they show a preference for the lure farther back.
